"Hello World" Video Premiere On The Boot

05.03.17

Texas country troubadour Zane Williams is premiering the lyric video for his song "Hello World" exclusively for readers of The Boot.

Based in Dallas, Texas, Williams has long been a country music traditionalist, and his dedication to that classic sound is evident on "Hello World." Williams describes the song as "a song about the thankfulness of being alive and the enjoyment of the beauty in nature.""I've always been in love with the outdoors, attracted to a simpler way of life with a deeper connection to nature and our surroundings," Williams tells The Boot. "My parents and brother are not that way ... [but] I married into a family that loves the outdoors ... It's a perfect fit!"

"Hello World" was inspired by Williams' childhood, when he'd wander through the hills of West Virginia and fish for bluegill in Kentucky with his grandfather. These days, he's a father himself - to a 7-year-old boy and a 4-year-old girl - and road life is making it difficult to enjoy time in nature as much as Williams would like."Finding time to be outdoors is harder than ever, and yet I need it more than ever - a chance to unwind, a chance to slow down, a chance to forget about all the craziness of this life I've constructed and just sit still and listen to nature," he says. "I hope this song encapsulates that feeling for others like it does for me."

When Zane put together his first band at age 33, he was a decade older than most of the new artists on the scene, and much more experienced as a songwriter, yet his obvious love of performing and connecting with his fans infused his shows with a youthful passion. Bringin' Country Back melds that passion with his hard-earned experience as a performer and producer to create his most confident work yet. "I just love country music, and I don't want to see it fall by the wayside," he says. "I wanted to create a laid-back, old-school country album that folks could listen to on the back porch with the sun going down. It's nothing fancy, but it's real." And isn't that what country music should be?
